Negroamaro

2023 Puglia Negroamaro

The 2023 Cross Mountain Vineyards Negroamaro hails from the sun-drenched region of Puglia, Italy, known for producing some of the finest wines that beautifully express the local terroir. This red wine captivates with its deep ruby hue, drawing in admirers with its rich color. On the palate, it showcases a medium-bodied profile, balanced with vibrant acidity that adds a refreshing lift, ensuring a mouthwatering experience. The fruit intensity emerges prominently, offering luscious notes of dark cherry, ripe plum, and hints of blackberry, which harmonize wonderfully with subtle earthy undertones. The tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing structure and depth while remaining approachable. With its deliciously dry finish, this Negroamaro is perfect for enjoying alongside hearty dishes or simply savoring on its own, making it a true gem from the Puglian landscape.

Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
